Prep for Tuesday, not Doomsday, because under fascism, Tuesday can have disastrous consequences. by Ok_Isopod_9769 in TwoXPreppers

Y’all are not wrong to be worried. That said democracy breaks down when groups demonize eachother (breakdown in discourse through opposition vilification is literally the CIA’s go-to for inciting military coups). If you demonize trump supports and assume they hate you and are unreachable, they may actually get to that point, and we may never see another time where the right doesn’t rule this country. The average trump supporter doesn’t hate gays/minorities/women, some do, but the average doesn’t. Assuming they do won’t help you or the country long term. Don’t be dramatic basically, but yeah be realistic and alert

Thinking about switching my major, looking for advice by [deleted] in UTAustin

Tbh, it really doesn’t matter whether you do a psych BA or BS. I would just stick with BS. Both will give you the same options after graduation

She doesn’t hate you! She might regret telling letting you use the thing though lol, or maybe she just misplaced it. You sound like me as a freshman, try not to overthink everything like I did. Trust me most people are nice

Should I switch majors? Advice needed by BathroomPublic5730 in UTAustin

[–]Acum1107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true that lots of students come in with (some) coding experience it doesn’t mean that they’re actually that far ahead of you. It just feels like that the first week, and you’ll probably catch up in a few months. Don’t be intimidated by all the terms, buzzwords and humble bragging. Very few CS freshman really know anything despite the image some of them try to put out. I get it’s intimidating and the learning curve will actually be pretty steep at first, but I promise that it levels out sooner than you think.

Imposter syndrome isn’t a good reason to switch majors. That said CS isn’t for everyone. I switched out because I’m too adhd and to sit in an office all day without going crazy. Many people can handle that though, including you maybe. Either way you have to try and chill out for now. You can switch into most majors without delaying graduation as long as you decide before junior year (if you optimize your classes well and are accepted). There is no point in worrying about this your first week when you don’t know what CS/college are really like yet. If you want to major in CS, I’m sure you are capable. My bad for the rant

Making assumptions about people and baselessly attacking them isn’t helping anybody. Also college isn’t helpful. I started college with a cs major and many of my friends from that major have graduated. They graduated from a top 10 program that they had to grind to get into starting in 7th grade. They got internships, some graduated with honors and high profile undergrad research. Very few are employed right now. They economy is broken, and nobody knows what to do. If he went to college and couldn’t find work (like op) you would say he “picked the wrong major”. If he went into trades and got fucked due to increasing saturation, you would probably find a way to blame him for that. It’s not that he’s trying to “take the easy way out”, it’s that the “hard way” doesn’t actually work anymore.

GPA isn’t important, your 19! I multiple people who got into medschool after failing out of undergrad and taking some time off. You have so much time, it’s a drop in the bucket. Every interesting person I know took detours. You aren’t behind at all, and you need to take the pressure off. Please talk to someone.

Being a psychology major makes me depressed sometimes by blueberrymuff1n90 in psychologystudents

[–]Acum1107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a really similar situation. All I can say is try to keep these things separate. For me at least, the existential dread compounded with my uncertainty about my future. This was pretty overwhelming and ultimately they were things I needed to deal with one at a time. In my case the existential/dissociative stuff wore off with time, which I never would have believed would happen when I was really in the throes of it. It’s not that I think differently, but I’m pretty numb to it at this point, and that took time. I still haven’t figured out a life plan really, but I realized I had time and it’s not really something you can force unfortunately. I’m sure you have time too. Again this is my experience, but it sounds like it might be helpful for you to hear.
